Cannot use jsreport.localization.localize in helper

blizarazu

Hi, I'm trying to use jsreport.localization.localize as shown in the example in the "Complex use case" of the localization documentation (https://jsreport.net/learn/localization) and it works fine when I use the studio, but when I render the report from Javascript code I get this error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'localize')

One reason may be that I'm using jsreport-core to render from Javascript. I don't know if it has something to do with the error.

const jsreport = require('@jsreport/jsreport-core')(options);
jsreport.use(require('@jsreport/jsreport-assets')());
jsreport.use(require('@jsreport/jsreport-chrome-pdf')());
jsreport.use(require('@jsreport/jsreport-data')());
jsreport.use(require('@jsreport/jsreport-fs-store')());
jsreport.use(require('@jsreport/jsreport-jsrender')());
jsreport.use(require('@jsreport/jsreport-pdf-utils')({ syncModifications: false }));

jsreport.render({
      template: {
        name: reportName
      },
      data,
      options: {
        localization: { language: 'en' },
      }
    });

One thing I've noticed is that when printing the jsreport-proxy properties in the helper, it does not have the 'localization' property when rendering form JS, whereas that property exists when rendering from the studio.

const jsreport = require('jsreport-proxy');
console.log(Object.keys(jsreport));

Is there anything else I need to import in order to use the localize function in the helper?

Thank you.

@blizarazu i don't see the @jsreport/jsreport-localization extension used in your code, seems like you are missing that dependency

Thank you very much @bjrmatos! That was the problem.
